What is an alveolar dead space?

An alveolar dead space is the volume of air in the alveoli of the lungs which does not partake in gas exchange.


Does air in the lungs change with each breath?

A percentage of it does. There's a certain amount of "dead space."


What is alveolar dead space?

Alveolar dead space is the difference between anatomical and physiologic dead space, representing the space of alveoli occupied by air that does not participate in alveolar ventillation (oxygen-carbon di oxide exchange). Anatomical dead space: the Airways of mouth, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and the broncheoles. Equipment dead space is the volume of equipment that occurs in rebreathing of gases. Physiologic dead space is the sum of the anatomic and alveolar dead spaces Its volume VD is determined by measuring the partial pressure of carbon di oxide in a sample of exhaled gas (PE) and with tidal volum e(VT) using the formula VD/VT =[ (PCo2-PECo2)/PaCo2


Why are lungs special?

You need your lungs to breathe. Without lungs, you'd be dead.


How does the pressure of the pleural space compare to the lungs?

Normally, the pressure in the lungs is greater than the pressure in the pleural space surrounding the lungs

What is the Normal respiratory dead space ratio?

The normal respiratory dead space ratio (VD/VT) is typically around 0.2 to 0.4, meaning that 20% to 40% of the tidal volume (VT) may not participate in gas exchange due to being in non-perfused areas of the lungs. This dead space includes both anatomical dead space (the conducting airways) and physiological dead space (areas where ventilation exceeds perfusion). The exact ratio can vary based on factors like age, body position, and underlying lung conditions.


Is the new Dead Space Extraction Dead Space 2?

No, it is only a prequel to the previous game Dead Space.


Which respiratory disorders produce an increase in dead space volume and how would this increase in dead space affect cellular respiration and metabolism?

Respiratory disorders such as pulmonary embolism and acute respiratory distress syndrome can increase dead space volume by impairing gas exchange in the lungs. An increase in dead space leads to a decrease in effective ventilation and can cause a mismatch between ventilation and perfusion, resulting in reduced oxygenation of blood. This can lead to impaired cellular respiration and metabolism due to a decrease in oxygen delivery to the tissues.

Will they make a dead space movie?

Dead Space: Downfall is an animated horror movie in the Dead Space universe. A second movie called Dead Space: Aftermath is soon to be released.


Is dead space 2 as scary as dead space downfall?

That question can be answered differently. If 'you' think Dead Space: Downfall wasn't very scary, then Dead Space 2 is alot scarier. However, if 'you' think Dead Space: Downfall was very, very scary then the same goes for Dead Space 2.
